Abstract:
Social organisation participating in anti-poverty is a common method in modern society. Based on the micro data of the national low-income household survey in 2017, using Logistic and Probit regression model, this paper makes an empirical study on the Rural Anti-poverty Effect and mechanism of social organizations from three dimensions of service accessibility, subjective poverty and future life confidence.It found that, in the process of social organisation participating in the anti-poverty work in rural areas, there is a “double low dilemma” of few types of services and low access to services, and there is the problem of unbalanced development in the eastern, central and western regions, which seriously restricts the Anti-poverty Effect of social organisation. In fact, social services can significantly reduce the subjective poverty of the rural poor. Moreover, it can directly and significantly improve their future life confidence, and indirectly improve their future life confidence through the intermediary role of subjective poverty. From the perspective of subjective poverty and future life confidence, social services has a significant anti-poverty effect, highlighting the significance of its effect. However, the anti-poverty effects of different types of social services, such as disabled rehabilitation, medical care, and spiritual consolation, are different, highlighting the type of their effects. At the same time, the impact of social services on the subjective poverty and future life confidence of different family types is also different, highlighting the family structure of the Anti-poverty Effect of social services. Therefore, we must take corresponding measures to further promote the sustainable development of anti-poverty work in the new era according to the types of social services and family characteristics.
